Revised Version 1895
Deuteronomy 19:2-9
2thou shalt separateH914 threeH7969 citiesH5892 for thee in the midstH8432 of thy landH776, whichH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 giveth thee to possessH3423 it.
3Thou shalt prepareH3559 thee the wayH1870, and divideH5157 the bordersH1366 of thy landH776, whichH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 causeth thee to inheritH5157, intoH776 threeH8027 partsH8027, that everyH3605 manslayerH7523 may fleeH5127 thither.
4And this is the caseH1697 of the manslayerH7523, whichH834 shall fleeH5127 thither and live: whoso killeth his neighbour unawares, and hatedH8130 him notH3808 in time pastH8543;
5as when a manH4191 goeth intoH413 the forestH3293 with his neighbour to hew woodH6086, and his handH3027 fetcheth a stroke with the axeH1631 to cutH3772 downH3772 the treeH6086, and the headH1270 slippeth from the helve, and lighteth uponH935 his neighbour, that he dieH4191; he shall fleeH5127 unto one of theseH428 citiesH5892 and live:
6lestH6435 the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 pursueH7291 the manslayerH7523, whileH1931 his heartH3824 is hot, and overtakeH5381 him, becauseH3588 the wayH1870 is longH5315, and smiteH5221 him mortally; whereas he was notH3808 worthyH4941 of deathH4194, inasmuch as he hatedH8130 him notH3808 in time pastH8543.
7Wherefore I commandH6680 thee, sayingH559, Thou shalt separateH914 threeH7969 citiesH5892 for thee.
8And ifH518 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 enlargeH7337 thy borderH1366, as he hath swornH7650 unto thy fathersH1, and giveH5414 thee allH3605 the landH776 whichH834 he promisedH1696 to giveH5414 unto thy fathersH1;
9ifH3588 thou shalt keepH8104 allH3605 this commandmentH4687 to doH6213 it, whichH834 I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, to loveH157 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and to walkH1870 everH5750 in his waysH1870; then shalt thou addH3254 threeH7969 citiesH5892 moreH5750 for thee, besideH5921 theseH428 threeH7969:
